Hilly landscapes, scenic bodies of water, and historical landmarks await you in Galena. Former US President Ulysses Grant lived in the city, and many of the buildings present then have been preserved carefully to tell history today. In fact, almost 90% of the entire city is part of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). It has also been gifted with stunning natural wonders, a fact that is evident in its peaks and valleys. Since most of these areas are protected, the small city has become a sanctuary for bald eagles. Even effigy mounds made by Native Americans have been well-preserved over the years. The city’s lovely bed and breakfast scene attracts tourists from all over the world, too. Check out our list of the best cabins with hot tub near Galena, Illinois.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to hot tub. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 07, 2024.
1. Spacious house with treetop views (from USD 482)
Since this 4,200-square-foot (390.19-square-meter) house is located on a hilltop, you’ll get breathtaking views of the treetops. For this reason, you may want to lounge on the patio — relaxing in the outdoor hot tub or sitting by the firepit — while you’re enjoying the sunset.
The interior of the house is just as lovely. The bedrooms feature king-size and queen-size beds, thus comfortably sleeping 12 people, and the living room has a gas fireplace and a flat-screen television for your entertainment. If you love to cook, then you might enjoy the modern kitchen with a giant island.
If you want more options for fun, there’s a game room inside with a table tennis table and a tabletop arcade game. You’re also free to enjoy the communal pool. There are nearby resorts as well if you want to go there.
